Oakridge Fire Victim’s Fund
**UPDATE** We will close out the applications for Assistance on November 14, 2009. If we do not receive your application for assistance by November 14, 2009, you will no longer be eligible for assistance, and the remaining funds will be distributed to those who previously qualified for assistance. Please get your applications in before November 14, 2009.**
**SECOND UPDATE** Regarding the Oakridge Fire Fund. At this point in time the applications for assistance have come to a halt and we have set November 14, 2009 as the last date for review and acceptance of any further applications. All of you who may have sent emails but have not received a response should pay particular attention. Over the past year, we have received a few emails that were not readable. In order to resolve those few, we have attempted to reply, and because the email address is not in the proper format, the replies have been refused. These mysterious emails typically had an address like “ng” or similar non-usable addresses. We have no way of determining if these are legitimate requests or some form of scam. If any resident has not received a reply to an email request, please visit the park office and request a form that can be sent by facsimile. Again, we are not able to respond to any requests received after November 14, 2009. At that time we will account for the balance of funds and make the final distributions. Best wishes to you all.**

The Associates Group for Affordable Housing, Inc. (TAG) was formed in 1988. The initial purpose of the corporation was to educate mobilehome park residents as to how they might purchase the parks in which they reside. TAG actively participated with many hundreds of resident groups, providing training and advice as to the potential for a park purchase. More recently, TAG has bee involved with the acquisition of several manufactured housing communities to be held and in some cases subdivided and sold to the residents to preserve affordable housing stock.
TAG has surronded itself with a number of very competent people, both on its board of directors as well as its advisory board, and is dedicated to the preservation of affordable housing through the use of factory constructed housing.
